PowerTech M 2.4L and 4.5L engines

Fixed geometry turbochargerFixed geometry turbochargers are sized for a specific power range and optimized to provide excellent performance across the entire torque curve. They are also designed to maximize fuel economy between the engine’s rated speed and peak torque.

Mechanical unit pump (MUP) fuel systemThis system uses camshaft-driven MUPs, connected to the injectors by a short fuel line. This short fuel line between the unit pumps and the injectors helps to alleviate after-injection, secondary injection, and other injection abnormalities (2.4L).

Mechanical rotary fuel pumpThe timing and fuel injection pressures are optimized to maximize performance and fuel economy at a given rated speed (4.5L).

2-valve cylinder headCross-flow (4.5L) and U-flow (2.4L) head design provides excellent breathing from a lower-cost 2-valve cylinder head.

TurbochargedIn turbocharged engines, the air is precompressed. Due to the higher pressure, more air is supplied into the combustion chamber allowing a corresponding increase in fuel injection, which results in greater engine output.

Compact sizeMounting points are the same as previous engine models.

Additional features – Self-adjusting poly-vee fan drive

– Forged-steel connecting rods

– Either-side service

– 500-hour oil change

PowerTech PWX 4.5L engines

Wastegated turbochargerWastegated turbochargers are designed to develop more air flow at lower engine speeds to improve low speed torque. The wastegate control device bleeds off a portion of the exhaust flow at higher engine speeds. Wastegated turbos deliver improved transient response and higher peak torque without compromising engine envelope size. They also provide the lowest installed cost across a given power range.

Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)EGR cools and mixes measured amounts of cooled exhaust gas with incoming fresh air to lower peak combustion temperatures, thereby reducing NOx.

Exhaust filtersThese engines utilize an exhaust filter that contains a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a particulate filter. The DOC reacts with exhaust gases to reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and some particulate matter (PM). The downstream filter traps and holds the remaining PM. Trapped particles are oxidized within the filter through a continuous cleaning process called passive regeneration. Regeneration occurs during normal operating conditions when heat from the exhaust stream and catalysts within the exhaust filter trigger the oxidation of the trapped PM.

Variable geometry turbocharger (VGT)Varies exhaust pressure based on load and speed to ensure proper EGR flow. The combination of the cooled EGR and VGT provide low-speed torque, quicker transient response, higher-peak torque, and world-class fuel economy.

Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)EGR cools and mixes measured amounts of cooled exhaust gas with incoming fresh air to lower peak combustion temperatures, thereby reducing NOx.

Exhaust filtersThese engines utilize a catalyzed exhaust filter that contains a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DOC reacts with exhaust gases to reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and some particulate matter (PM). The downstream DPF traps and holds the remaining PM. Trapped particles are oxidized within the DPF through a continuous cleaning process called passive regeneration. Passive regeneration occurs during normal operating conditions when heat from the exhaust stream and catalysts within the exhaust filter trigger the oxidation of the trapped PM. If passive regeneration cannot be achieved due to low temperature, load, or speed, then PM is removed using active regeneration — an automatic cleaning process controlled by the exhaust temperature management system. Engines below 130 kW (174 hp) use an in-cylinder dosing system for active regeneration, while larger engines use an external dosing system.

High-pressure common-rail (HPCR) and engine control unit (ECU)The HPCR fuel system provides variable common-rail pressure and higher injection pressures up to 1,975 bar (29,000 psi). It also controls fuel injection timing and provides precise control for the start, duration, and end of injection.

PowerTech PSX 4.5L, 6.8L, 9.0L, and 13.5L engines

Series turbochargersFresh air is first drawn into the low-pressure turbocharger (fixed geometry) and compressed to a higher pressure. The compressed air is then drawn into the high-pressure turbocharger (VGT or WGT), where the air is further compressed. The high-pressure air is then routed through a charge air cooler and into the engine’s intake manifold. By splitting the work between two turbochargers, both can operate at peak efficiency and at slower rotating speeds — lowering stress on turbocharger components and improving reliability. Series turbocharging delivers more boost pressure than single turbocharger configurations which results in higher power density, improved low-speed torque, and improved high altitude operation.

Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)EGR cools and mixes measured amounts of cooled exhaust gas with incoming fresh air to lower peak combustion temperatures, thereby reducing NOx.

Exhaust filtersThese engines utilize a catalyzed exhaust filter that contains a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DOC reacts with exhaust gases to reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and some particulate matter (PM). The downstream DPF traps and holds the remaining PM. Trapped particles are oxidized within the DPF through a continuous cleaning process called passive regeneration. Passive regeneration occurs during normal operating conditions when heat from the exhaust stream and catalysts within the exhaust filter trigger the oxidation of the trapped PM. If passive regeneration cannot be achieved due to low temperature, load, or speed, then PM is removed using active regeneration — an automatic cleaning process controlled by the exhaust temperature management system.

High-pressure common-rail (HPCR) and engine control unit (ECU)The HPCR fuel system provides variable common-rail pressure, multiple injections, and higher injection pressures up to 1,975 bar (29,000 psi). It also controls fuel injection timing and provides precise control for the start, duration, and end of injection. (4.5L, 6.8L, and 9.0L)

Electronic unit injector (EUI) and engine control unit (ECU)The EUI fuel system provides higher injection pressures up to 2,275 bar (33,000 psi). It also controls fuel injection timing and provides precise control for start, duration, and end of injection. (13.5L)

4-valve cylinder headThe 4-valve cylinder head provides excellent airflow resulting in greater low-speed torque and better transient response time by utilizing a cross-flow design (4.5L, 6.8L, and 13.5L) and a U-flow design (9.0L).

Air-to-air aftercooledThis is the most efficient method of cooling intake air to help reduce engine emissions while maintaining low-speed torque, transient response time, and peak torque. It enables an engine to meet emissions regulations with better fuel economy and the lowest installed costs.

Interim Tier 4/Stage III B FAQ

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and European Union (EU) require off-highway diesel engines to meet Interim Tier 4/Stage III B emissions regulations. These regulations took effect in 2011 and require a 90 percent reduction in particulate matter (PM) and a 50 percent drop in nitrogen oxides (NOx). Final Tier 4/Stage IV emissions regulations will take PM and NOx to near-zero levels by 2014.

What’s the background on these regulations?The drive to reduce emissions has been in the works for more than 10 years and has followed a tiered approach (see chart above). Tier 1 regulations set limits on particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. Final Tier 4 regulations take effect in 2014 and require the air coming out of the exhaust to be virtually as clean as the air going into the engine.

What tier are we at today?Interim Tier 4 (IT4) emissions regulations took effect in 2011 and require diesel engines 174 hp and above to reduce PM emissions by 90 percent and NOx emissions by 50 percent. Regulations for engines below 174 hp take effect January 1, 2012.

Final Tier 4 regulations begin in 2014 and will take PM and NOx emissions to near-zero levels.

What is PM and NOx?Particulate matter, or PM, is called “smoke” because it comes out of the exhaust pipe in the form of smoke. It’s essentially an incomplete combustion of diesel fuel — just like a smoky fire that provides less heat than a hot, clean-burning fire.

Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, are sometimes called “smog” because they contribute to the formation of atmospheric pollution.

How do IT4 engines reduce nitrogen oxides and particulate matter?There are two ways to reduce emissions: The first is with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and an exhaust filter. EGR lowers NOx and the exhaust filter reduces PM. The second way to reduce emissions is with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC). The SCR system lowers NOx while the diesel oxidation catalyst reduces PM.

How does cooled EGR work?Cooled EGR is essentially the opposite of SCR. It cools and mixes measured amounts of exhaust gas with incoming fresh air to lower the engine’s peak combustion temperature, thereby reducing NOx to an acceptable level.

Because of the lower combustion temperatures used to reduce NOx, there is an increase in PM. To reduce PM to acceptable levels, exhaust gases are routed through an exhaust filter containing a diesel oxidation catalyst and a diesel particulate filter. PM is trapped in the filter and — through a process called regeneration — oxidized into nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide, then expelled through the exhaust pipe.

42

Does the operator have to stop the machine for it to regenerate?In most cases the regeneration process uses exhaust heat created under normal engine operating conditions. When necessary, the engine’s control system can raise exhaust temperature to regenerate the filter. In either case, regeneration does not impact machine operation.

How does SCR work?Let’s go back to the smoky fire example. SCR raises the peak combustion temperature in the engine so the engine runs like a hot, cleaner-burning fire. As a result, there is less particulate matter created. Any further reduction in particulate matter is accomplished by a chemical reaction in the diesel oxidation catalyst. However, because of the higher combustion temperatures, the engine creates more NOx.

To reduce NOx, a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), also called urea, is injected into the exhaust stream. When the exhaust gases combine with the urea in the SCR catalyst, NOx is broken down into nitrogen gas and water vapor and expelled through the exhaust pipe.

Cooled EGR

44 45

What technology is John Deere using to meet IT4 regulations?Cooled EGR. We took our proven Tier 3 PowerTech™ Plus engine platform with cooled EGR and added an exhaust filter. It’s more operator-friendly and less complex to maintain when compared to SCR systems. In addition, it’s field-proven. We were the first manufacturer to widely commercialize off-highway Tier 3 cooled EGR diesel engines. These engines have a proven record of reliability.

Why not SCR?We’re looking to the end result, and that’s Final Tier 4 in 2014. Proven technologies such as cooled EGR and exhaust filters will be the foundation for meeting Final Tier 4 regulations. If we removed the EGR components from our engines to meet IT4, we would need to put them back on for Final Tier 4. So from a logical engineering progression, it makes more sense to build upon our already-proven cooled EGR technology for IT4 and add the exhaust filter.

With SCR, you must also consider the total fluid consumption including diesel fuel and DEF additive. The single-fluid approach of cooled EGR is easier for operators to use and delivers better total fluid economy.

46 47

Is cooled EGR the right choice for IT4?Cooled EGR is what our customers told us they want for IT4. It’s a simple solution for the operator that leverages the proven fuel efficiency of our PowerTech Plus engines and is part of an integrated vehicle design. That’s something John Deere excels at as we design, manufacture, and service the engine, drivetrain, hydraulics, exhaust filter, cooling system, and other vehicle systems as part of a complete package to improve performance, convenience, and value. Finally, cooled EGR is easy to maintain. If it needs service, our customers are backed by the most responsive dealer network in the industry. Our dealers and their service technicians will be highly trained on these new engines and can even help you improve total vehicle efficiency.

Will serviceability and service intervals change with Interim Tier 4/Stage III B engines?Current engine maintenance intervals remain unchanged or are improved upon depending on the application/machine type. The oil change interval will be the same interval offered for Tier 3/Stage III A engines at either 500 hours or 250 hours. One difference will come with the addition of the exhaust filter. While the regulations require an exhaust filter ash service interval of 4,500 hours minimum for engines 130 kW (174 hp) and greater and 3,000 hours for engines less than 130 kW (174 hp), John Deere will provide a 5,000-hour and 3,000-hour ash service interval respectively.

Does a cooled EGR-equipped diesel engine have a higher internal combustion temperature than an SCR-equipped engine?As its name implies, cooled EGR cools and mixes measured amounts of exhaust gas with incoming fresh air to lower the engine’s peak combustion temperature, thereby reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to an acceptable level. The exhaust gases are then routed through an exhaust filter, which traps the particulate matter (PM).

In contrast, engines equipped with SCR technology usually operate at higher combustion temperatures in order to reduce particulate matter to acceptable emissions levels. This places additional heat on the internal components of the engine and creates more NOx. To reduce NOx, a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is injected into the exhaust stream, which combines with the exhaust gases in the SCR catalyst.

John Deere’s cooled EGR engines actually have cooler internal engine combustion temperatures than SCR engines. Cooled EGR engines do place more cooling requirements (higher heat rejection) on the cooling system; however, John Deere has adopted new variable speed fan drives and cooling system designs for IT4 that meet cooling needs in the most efficient method possible.

John Deere’s approach to IT4 allows for cooler combustion temperatures, and delivers the same or better power and torque performance and improved levels of durability.
